Why 809? Because that's the number of votes Cake Wrecks received over at the Blogger's Choice Awards. That's right, Wrecks fans, WE WON!!

Not only that, but your voting made CW win by a landslide: 300 votes more than second place! Of the 37 or so categories on BCA, I think I only saw 3 other winning blogs with more votes than Wrecks: most winners had between 200 and 500 votes. Wow. So thank you - all 809 of you - for your completely spontaneous support: I am just floored by your response, and very grateful.

"Congradumalations". I found your site yesterday via a friend's recommendation and I have shared it with all my work colleagues. I have achieved nothing at all today save for giggling over your pics. I am now, though, truly terrified. For I have a professional cake on order for my Dad's 60th and it is based on a trout. I think I may be in trouble...I will of course be in touch should the dreadful happen...

I would of voted but I've only just found your blog. Its cheered me up no end although I couldn't understand wht you had against cupcake cakes, as I pictured in my mind a lovely stand full of cupcakes, and then I looked through your blog and oh my goodness! I can't tell you how much your blog cheered me up, I've just had to share it with everyone!

With all due respect, your second place competition has quite a following and is responsible for sending this reader (and I'm sure many more) your way. And boy am I glad she did. I pass you along to anyone who will listen. I'm so glad you won!

Congratulations! Or should I say "congradulshuns" or "kongrats" -- but then it would look too much like writing on the wrecks!

I love your blog - the wrecks are terrific, but your commentary is the BEST! Please never get bored with this stuff -- there are a lot of us who check out wrecks first thing in the morning at work! Thanks again! Stephanie Wolf

Congrats Jen! You totally deserve it. Your blog stands out among humor blogs because you are very adamant about not hurting the wreck-makers feelings, about not being MEAN for the sake of a good laugh.

Congrats! You deserve it. After reading for several months you win hands down. No contest, really. I love your comments AND the cakes. Both make you the blog I read first. You make me laugh all the time.

congrats! i love your blogg and stop by all the time for a good laugh! your so funny and the cakes are hilarious!! i now walk by the bakery at our local stores and really notice the cakes there. my mom always made our cakes and I have made my daughters hey if its homemade it is allowed to be a wreck right:)they have turned out well so far but she is only 2:) Someone did bake her a wreck though for her 1st bday. I wish I took a better pic of it was a barbie cake on top of a heart cake on top of a square cake with no supports!! The colors where brown with yellow crystal sugar crystals, purple with red so everything melted into each other and sank into each other! The kids refused to try it as did the adults! (she had about 60 guests and no one wanted to try it!!)I had made a three tier cake for her bday so I had enough cake without that one was sad to set in on the cake table next to the one I worked so hard on but I had to display it because it was a gift but it was BAD!!!

In wanting to be completely fair in my voting, I decided to check out the top 3 leaders. In all honesty, cake wrecks was the only blog that I could read through all day long and still laugh. I don't even remember being able to conjur up even a teeny giggle when looking through the other two(no offense to the bloggers involved). It was a well-deserved, hands-down win and I look forward to voting again NEXT year!

[insert misspelled congratulations joke here]. It should have been an even 810, (or plus whatever running number of people who were not able to vote + me) because I registered but was never able to get it to work. Im glad so many others were!Your blog truly is something I check every morning first thing. It's a great way to start the day.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
